Let’s take you through those cute 6 episodes:
Episode 01: The Blind Date
The first episode begins with Dolly a.k.a Palak ready for her first blind date. She spots a guy wearing a suit in the restaurant and assumes him to be her date “Nikhil“. The two skip the fancy restaurant for a roadside chai and vada pav meal. They spend some hours just chatting about films and their interests. Palak then calls up her bestie Kavya (played by Tanushree) to tell her about the “best date” she just had. But in a twist of events, Kavya mentions that the actual “Nikhil” had cancelled last minute, leaving both confused about this mystery man Palak met.
Episode 02: The Meet-(not so) Cute
This episode starts with Kavya and Palak getting ready for the day while dissecting Palak’s “blind “Best Worst Date” with the mystery man who we now know wasn’t “Nikhil.” Also, here comes the smart brand integration of St. Ives. While Palak is bummed, Kavya cheers her by saying the real “Nikhil” will turn up at her birthday party where Palak can finally meet him. Fast forward to a month later, the besties run into the mystery man at the same roadside chai tapri.
Episode 03: Yes or No?!
Kavya runs to ask this mystery man if he recognised Palak. His sister (played by Richa Nanda) pops in but Kavya distracts her while Palak questions him on why he lied. The guy revealed his name to be “Manav Mehra“. He explains himself and apologises. Not as convinced Palak turns to leave when Manav asks her out on a date. Will she say a “yes” or a “no?”
Episode 04: Is This A Rom-Com!
What starts as a “meeting” turns into a series of cute and romantic dates where Palak and Manav get to know each other better. At the end of the fourth episode, Palak admits that she likes him to Kavya.
Episode 05: Sorry, What Did He Do?
Kavya tells Palak to bring Manav to her birthday party for the BFF Test. There, he seems to impress both besties with his humour until Kavya’s friend shows up. He knew Manav and asked him why he left his ex Riya’s wedding early on 12th April which also happened to be Palak and Manav’s first blind date. Another lie leaves Palak confused and upset.
Episode 06
Palak feels like she’s Manav’s rebound. She questions him about why he lied and he explains himself while revealing that he doesn’t want to lose what they have. Both lovebirds admit that they like each other but Palak is unable to decide how to trust him. Just then, someone knocks on the door. He turns out to be the real “Nikhil”, leaving both Palak and Manav stunned. What should Palak do now?T
